Carpe Diem #1605 Tan Renga Challenge Month 2019 (9) first day of spring

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

Welcome at a new episode of our beautiful Haiku Kai. This month it's Tan Renga Challenge Month so all our regular episodes are Tan Renga to complete (or to continue). For today's episode I have chosen a nice (renown) haiku by Basho, my master, one of the most famous haiku poets.

First day of spring--
I keep thinking about
the end of autumn.

First Day Of Spring

What a nice haiku to work with ... here is my hummble attempt:

Hm ... I like this continuation (how immodest) of the haiku by Basho.

This episode is NOW OPEN for your submissions and will remain open until February 19th at noon (CET). I will try to publish our new episode later on.

Share your continuation or completion of this Tan Renga with us all here at our Haiku Kai.
